How else would you do it?
Wireguard and Telnet ;)

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this person, or chuckle at them?
This is like storing all your data on a floppy disk you never back up and then accidentally dropping it in the toilet.

If it were advertised at the time as a 1-year rental/subscription then it wouldn't be a rug pull. But the fact that it was advertised as a permanent purchase means that it is, no matter how long you got to use it before it was involuntarily taken back from you.
Right but I still consider a rugpull to be a malicious/conscience activity to extract money from you. That doesn't seem the case here.

> I don't understand the rugpull comments.
The article says "the purchase made in 2019 is not recognized anymore". The seller unilaterally taking back something you previously bought, especially without a refund, is a rug pull.
A rugpull to me is something specifically setup to try and make money by scamming/rugpulling. JuiceSSH has been around for so long, even if it doesn't work anymore I don't feel rugpulled? If it was a year old I'd agree.

I too bought JuiceSSH. I can still download and run it on other phones I get in the future, right?
Cloud sync seems busted, so not really.

Not trying to defend the developer here but they went really silent once before like this. Then came out of the gate with a bunch of updates and new features.
I'm hoping they've just got really busy with life, I know when I emailed them before they have been responsive and helpful.
I mean hell they might have died? Does the Store have a process for this?
This app has been around a long time so I don't understand the rugpull comments.
Also the syned keys are (supposedly, I guess we don't have the source) encrypted so even if the dev is no longer active that aspect should be secure I hope.
My Pro features still seem to be working for me. EDIT: No, I see now that Cloud Sync isn't a thing anymore. Looks like it's really lost its backend servers.
That was already posted and it was not a legitimate gift card.
Yes it was. He purchased it from a legitimate reseller 100% legally and correctly.
I wish websites like this had a "cut the bullshit" option so I could just read. I mean yes, it's pretty and lovely but I don't always want to feel like I'm on a "choose your own adventure" when reading something.
I mean it's beautifully presented, but why does it need to be so graphical?
(Thankfully in Firefox I can click the Reader view and it provides that)
It... doesn’t? PDAs won, there are nearly no mobile phones being made anymore. The thing you call a mobile phone is a PDA with an incidental value-add of placing phone calls. (I had been wondering for some time why the UX of talking into a headset had been on the decline for the last 20 years until I encountered this idea; sadly, I don’t remember where.)
That's exactly my point?
> users want with a computer without telling them 'just learn to program'
A computer is meant to be programmed by the user. That is its raison d'être from the very beginning and why it is called like that.
A mobile phone is meant to be used to make and receive telephone calls. That is its raison d'être from the very beginning and why it is called like that.
Do you see how stupid that sounds?
